The S&P 500 may be headed for a long, slow sideways pattern, and that's good for traders, according to Daryl Guppy.

The NYMEX oil price has pulled back sharply, but the chart suggests it's not a change of the overall uptrend, according to Daryl Guppy.

The key question now is about the strength of the pullback for the dollar, and the potential to develop a new rebound rally, according to Daryl Guppy.

There are two downside targets for gold, according to Daryl Guppy.

The Dow does not like what it sees as trade tensions rise, according to Daryl Guppy.

The pullback in oil prices takes place within the environment of a well-established uptrend, writes Daryl Guppy.

Aggressive traders are starting to enter the Shanghai market in anticipation of a trend change, writes Daryl Guppy.

The strongest historical support level for gold is near $1,210 and traders will prepare for a potential rebound from there, writes Daryl Guppy.

There are three defining features on the Nasdaq Composite chart. All of them suggest that talk of a tech crash is unjustified, writes Daryl Guppy.

The market contradiction with the Australian dollar persists, writes Daryl Guppy.

Oil's price hasn't rebounded, but many features of the commodity's performance suggest the bear is not in command of this market, Daryl Guppy writes.

The breakout in the U.S. dollar appears to have slowed. Technical features suggest, however, that it is easy for the dollar to develop more upside, Daryl Guppy writes.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index is poised for a continuation of its downtrend — with a downside target near 25,200, Daryl Guppy writes.

There was a contradiction when Australia's stock market was making new 10-year highs but the currency was posting significant lows. A big question has now been answered, Daryl Guppy writes.

Gold's consolidation over the past few weeks has triggered short covering, but it has not encouraged new long positions, Daryl Guppy writes.

The Nikkei and the Dow may be joined at the hip when it comes to behavior, but the Nikkei is moving faster, according to Daryl Guppy.

All the support features and the trend strength continue to suggest that oil price is experiencing a temporary retreat, but the longer term trading band target is near $87, according to Daryl Guppy.

One of southern Africa’s biggest tourist attractions has seen an unprecedented decline this dry season, fuelling climate change fears

For decades Victoria Falls, where southern Africa’s Zambezi river cascades down 100 metres into a gash in the earth, have drawn millions of holidaymakers to Zimbabwe and Zambia for their stunning views.

But the worst drought in a century has slowed the waterfalls to a trickle, fuelling fears that climate change could kill one of the region’s biggest tourist attractions.

Victoria Falls, on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, has slowed down to a trickle after an unprecedented decline in water levels, officials have said. Data from the Zambezi River authority showed water flow at its lowest since 1995, and well under the long-term average. 

The Zambian president, Edgar Lungu, said it was a stark reminder of what climate change is doing to the environment, yet some scientists are cautious about categorically blaming the climate crisis. Harald Kling, a hydrologist at engineering firm Pöyry and a Zambezi River expert, said climate science dealt in decades, not particular years, 'so it’s sometimes difficult to say: this is because of climate change because droughts have always occurred'

My cousin John Greenacre, who has died aged 85, was a renowned teacher. He was totally committed to Peterhouse school, near Marondera, Zimbabwe, where he recorded 56 years of service. He taught maths and coached tennis and cricket. He also led safaris to the Kalahari desert and Chimanimani national park.

Although John was born in Putney, south-west London, his family had long been based in Durban, South Africa. It was there that his father, Kenneth – an RAF pilot during the second world war – was director of the family department store, Greenacre’s. His mother, Elizabeth (nee Brett), was a devoted wife and mother.

Marry Chiwenga accused of disconnecting Constantino Chiwenga’s life support machine

The wife of Zimbabwe’s vice-president, Constantino Chiwenga, has been accused of attempting to kill him by disconnecting his life support while he was undergoing treatment in hospital this year.

Marry Chiwenga, née Mubaiwa, was arrested at the weekend and appeared at Harare’s magistrates court on Monday where she was remanded in custody.

After years in exile, my hopes for a joyous family reunion were dashed by the country’s miserable economic situation

My brothers and I leapt out of bed at the first glimmer of dawn on Christmas morning – and there they were. Every Christmas of my childhood that I can remember, the shiny black school shoes were neatly lined up by the door. A new pair for all of us. Then came the new clothes proudly presented by my parents – the fruit of long hours of labour. And then, in our new finery, off we went to church. The long sunny hours of Christmas Day, usually with a brief but refreshing afternoon thunderstorm, were spent at huge family gatherings, feasting on chicken and rice, washed down with an array of brightly-coloured soft drinks – cherry plum, cream soda and Fanta orange.

As the years went by and independence came to Zimbabwe, many things changed. But Christmas traditions remained much the same, with big gatherings to which people travelled many miles, new clothes, lots to eat and drink.

When I arrived in mid-December, the tales of hardship were heart-breaking. There’d be no gifts for children this year.

Legality of allowing Harare officials to interview those awaiting removal questioned

The Home Office faces a series of legal challenges over its decision to allow Zimbabwean government officials to interview people from the country who are seeking asylum in the UK.

The government was criticised earlier this year for working with the Zimbabwean state to accelerate the removal of asylum seekers after Robert Mugabe was forced from power, despite continuing human rights abuses in the country.

A woman’s descent into poverty provides a powerful finale to the Zimbabwean author’s trilogy

“You want nothing more than to break away from the implacable terror of every day you spend in your country – where you can no longer afford the odd dab of peanut butter to liven up the vegetables from Mai Manyanga’s garden.” This is the voice of Tambu, first encountered in the Zimbabwean writer Tsitsi Dangarembga’s much-praised 1988 book Nervous Conditions, a passionate, first-person account of a 1960s Rhodesian childhood scarred by the war of independence.

Now, in the final instalment in the trilogy, Tambu is middle aged and writing in an appropriately distanced second person. Dangarembga sets herself the challenge of writing about how alienated personhood becomes when life stories lose hope and in a country where effort is no longer followed by reward.
